Josh Burkman Believes He’s Entering His Prime

“I have about 12, 13 more fights. The biggest thing is living
healthy, not getting out of shape, staying in shape and continuing
to get better. I really feel like those first five, six, seven
years are all physical, and then all of a sudden, right around
seven, eight, maybe 10 years, it really becomes more mental. I
don’t train as hard as I trained when I was 25. People would be
very surprised if they saw how I train. It’s there now; I just have
to tweak it and rev it up and never lose it. I really think that
now I’m starting to figure things out on a higher level in martial
arts, and I think that doesn’t come for 10, 15 years in the sport.
I really believe that my mid-30s will be the best part of my
career.”
